In what will be a shocker for many, House of Chimera’s latest post highlights that Bitcoin-backed MicroStrategy has outperformed the top S&P 500 stocks. Let’s explore a comparative analysis to see how MicroStrategy’s performance measures up against industry giants like Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Amazon.

A Closer Look at the Numbers

The four major S&P 500 stocks—Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., NVIDIA Corp., and Amazon.com Inc.—have shown steady growth. However, MicroStrategy’s remarkable +357.78% performance over the past year puts it ahead. Here’s a breakdown of how the numbers compare:

MicroStrategy’s Impressive Surge

At the beginning of the year, MicroStrategy was trading at $68.35. By March 27, as Bitcoin hit its yearly peak, MicroStrategy’s stock surged to $195.03. In September, it dipped to a monthly low of $114.13 but has since rebounded, currently trading at $149.97, marking a 2.09% rise in the past month. The stock’s bullish trend is clear, with an outstanding yearly return of over 357%.

Apple’s Modest Growth

Apple INC, over the last twelve months, has seen a growth of just 28.62%. At the start of the year, the price was around $187.13. Throughout the year, the market has been in a sideways trend. On July 15, it touched a peak of $236.12. Now the market stands at $226.47. At the start of the month, the price was above $228.55. In the last month, the market has demonstrated a negative growth of 0.31%.  

Microsoft’s Steady Climb

Microsoft Corp. has posted a 36.52% gain over the last year. Its stock opened the year at $373.89 and reached its peak of $467.45 on July 5. Currently priced at $433.51, it has recorded a 4.84% rise in the last month, indicating steady growth.

Amazon’s Strong Rebound

Amazon.com Inc. has experienced notable growth, with a 47.70% increase over the past year. After starting at $151.34, Amazon’s stock surged past $200 in July. It now trades at $193.88, marking an impressive 10.47% rise in the past month.

NVIDIA’s Stellar Year, But Still Behind

Among the S&P 500, NVIDIA Corp. has shown the most impressive performance, with a 175.37% growth over the last year and 141.35% returns this year alone. Despite this, it still falls short of MicroStrategy’s remarkable gains. NVIDIA’s stock hit a yearly peak of $139.64 on June 20 but has since been trading sideways, fluctuating between $130 and $91.59. Currently, it’s priced at $116.26, reflecting an 8.07% drop over the past month—the sharpest decline among the top stocks.

So, What’s the Final Verdict?

House of Chimera’s post wasn’t an exaggeration: MicroStrategy has indeed outperformed some of the biggest names in the S&P 500 over the last year. While Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and NVIDIA have shown strong growth, none have matched the exceptional performance of MicroStrategy, which continues to benefit from its bold Bitcoin-backed strategy.

So, who would have thought that a company betting big on Bitcoin would outperform some of the biggest names in tech? But here we are!
